Shutdown works – Sydney to Melbourne

Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) will be carrying out essential track maintenance and improvement works this September at various locations between Sydney NSW and Melbourne VIC. Works will commence from 6:00am Saturday September and continue through until 6:00pm Monday 5 September 2022 with nightworks in some locations.

We will begin mobilising to site and carrying out minor preparation work in the two weeks prior to the shutdown work commencing and there will be post work site clean-up.  All preparation and clean-up work will be completed during standard construction hours.

There may be some traffic impacts, it will be noisy at times, light towers will be used for any night works, and some dust may be generated. Please be assured that we will implement measures to manage and minimise these impacts on the community where possible.
